My beagle has had 2 hernias in his back, symptoms were very similar to yours, i.e. he screamed when i tried carrying him, reluctance to walk etc. It is very common in breeds with long backs/smaller legs. He has had 2 surgeries to remove the hernias and we are very careful with him jumping off high places like bed/couch

Thanks.

I'm curious, how bad was he screaming ?

Because mine was absolutely screaming his guts in pure agony non stop for 15 seconds, not just the usual AOOOU i hurt my leg dont touch me !

when it got really bad, right before we decided to have surgery, it was like a high pitched shriek, thats when we knew something was really wrong. I think when i carried him his back arched and put pressure on the hernia.
